• Husqvarna Motorcycles Made In Sweden - About 1988 and older

  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

Modern Hub on a Nordisk Rim

I was wondering if anyone has experimented with using a modern 2010-13 Husky hub on a vintage Nordik rim. I was wanting to keep an original style rim on my Ae with the new front end.

Thanks

but it is in the older threads

Thanks, I looked but didn't go way back. Been busy working on the SM430. Finally got it ready for tires.
 
I think you could do it. Use the spokes that match the hub, use a standard 4-cross pattern. Once centered and trued, check whether the spokes poke up past the end of the nipples then grind them flat if they do.

I was kinda thinking the same thing. I'm going to unlace a spare 86 wheel try and use the spokes and the rim. I measured the spokes and the hubs. They do seem to be the same if not extremely close
 
Can’t say for sure with a new husky hub but tried to lace a 05 Ktm hub into an 85 nordisk and the angle that the spoke went through the rim was slight off. The holes in the rim would have to be re-drilled I believe. I think the issue was that the bolt circle for the spokes was a larger diameter than the husky hub which changed the spoke angle slightly. Also nipple diameter could be different as well as the countersink angle for the nipples. Look forward to seeing if it works out for ya though!
